Nabeel is trying to determine whether the slope of the ground affects the growth rates of plants. He just finished taking measurements of plant heights in various locations over a period of time. Now, he is starting to compare his measurements and look for patterns. Which step of the scientific method is Nabeel on?

Experiment

Explanation:

Scientific methods includes the step by step procedures in science of solving problems.

It has four basic steps this include, Characterizations which is the observations, definitions, and measurements of the subject that is involved in the research.

Hypotheses is formulated which is the theoretical explanations of the problems to be solved.

Predictions are made from the hypothesis formulated and

Experiments which is done to validate the hypothesis. It includes DAT collection, data analysis, interpretation of results. Nabeel is at the experiment stage where he is collecting data on plant and comparing the data so he can make inference that can help validate his hypothesis.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c

i dont know this but ask your teacher for !
